Microsoft Says No GTA DLC for PS3, Take 2 Stays Silent
05/14/2009 Written by Dan Massi
If you weren’t aware, it was reported that the Grand Theft Auto 4 downloadable episodes (currently exclusive to the Xbox 360) will eventually make their way to the PlayStation 3. It was said by PlayStation World Magazine that Microsoft had paid 25 million dollars per episode (two episodes for 50 million), and for six months of exclusivity.
A Microsoft spokesman has come forward and stated, “The GTA IV episodes are exclusive to the Xbox 360.” What’s strange is the fact that neither Take-2 Interactive, nor Sony have refused to comment on the rumor.
So what do you think? Will we be seeing Lost and Damned on PS3? Post your comments below, and stay tuned for updates on this matter.

hopefully we can get completely new episodes. lost and damned was pretty good but they could do better for the ps3. cant wait to see something new
okay….. No, why do u think peoplecould sue MS? At the time those commercials were on the air it was true. The only way u could sue is if u could go on psn and get the pack and then you watch tv and see a add saying it is MS only. And even then u would be a retard
I hope they do come to ps3…I would buy GTA 4 again just for them(I had it on my 360)
They can keep the DLC….is anybody still playing GTA IV?
MS wants to buy the game industry like everything else they buy up. I hope they lose a fortune because they really don’t give a damn about games…they just want to be another monthly utility company in your home.
As for GTA…I don’t know how the game got perfect 10′s everywhere. SR2 was 100x’s better.
DLC for a game I stopped caring about 8+ months ago is irrelevant. We don’t need DLC for year old games; we have new games to play. Trust me; after E3, you’ll have forgotten all about the Lost and Damned.
I dont care about their DLC enough to covet it. I will wait for the next GTA in the series, while Xbox owners can whoop it up with updates to the most lackluster version of GTA ever.
IF PS3 got it… I’d probably buy it, but I dont care if they ever do.
Just curious… did Microsoft get back the 25m they dished out for the update? Did it prove worthy of another 25m for update number 2?
I hate microsoft, that’s why I dont feel bad stealing their games from them.
@ TheHater
the only reason id want Sony to get the DLC is to piss the failme360 fan boys off.
I never even got into the GTA series, dose not matter to me. MS can keep exclusive DLC, I have too many PS3 exclusives to worry about.
@ Robotron
very true. thats how ive seen MS since they first appeared in the gaming industry.
Not really. I don’t play GTA 4 anymore. I sold it, I might pick it back up though
i think that normally once the dlc for a game comes out after that the game kind of dies. And GTA gets boring fast there is no point to get DLC
Wouldn’t surprise me if it does make it to PS3 once the MS/Take Two contract expires, if the contract allows for it.
The only reason I want this dlc to come to PS3 is for the inevitable ” I told ya so” that will be swiftly dolled out.
I HIGHLY doubt it.
Do you guys remember the ordeal that went through to get this DLC?
if memory serves me right here’s what happened:
Take2 wanted some help and they turned to Sony and were like
“Please sir, can i have some more!?”
and Sony replied
“…yeahhhhhhhhh-no”
Basically they needed some funds, and Sony shifted them, but Microsoft stepped up and told them they could have it if they gave them exclusive DLC. Then wham bam it came out (full frontal penis shot and everything). There’s no way that that content is going to be ported over.
(for clarification sake, i hate ms)
don’t care
As the Hater stated, DOES anyone still care? I know I don’t. That game was one of the most epic failures to hit us since ManHunt 2.
+1 Hater
I love GTA IV and I wish it was some downloadable content to lengthen the game. PS should have never given up its exclusive rights to GTA. Anyway, if there is something to too forward to in the future then cool. I just hope that it will be worth the wait.
